Merry Christmas and Happy Winter to OFNER's

[Pete Maina]

Hi All,

 

Just wanted to drop in and say hi. I returned to some emails about the TNB-EA magazines showing up in Canadian parts and wanted to chime in there ... a bit tardy with everything this fall as things have been hectic.

 

I did my first ice-fishing, and a TV show with John Gillespie a couple weeks ago. We did pretty well with a mixed bag of walleye, nice pike ... and a hybrid muskies and little true as well. That was fun; big group of friends and first ice is always good. (OF course we ate quite well too on the ice ... all part of the fun.)

 

Last night, I just returned from a week in Iowa with my dad and brother Steve, hunting deer. Had a great time; killed some deer and scared some as well ... hunting shack life is a good thing ... good for the soul ... no computers or phones. Was a bit cold though, and ever-windy, it seems there. The outhouse early in the morning was a bit unfriendly, but I guess not all news can be good. Otherwise a great trip really.

 

I had a fun open water season, and was blessed to have a good time with some friends ... was able to enjoy a milestone of my dad getting a 54 inch muskie (was reminded as he was telling all the other hunters in IA about it), which I shared with you all here.

 

Anyway, just wanted to drop in and say hi to all of you, wish you a Merry Christmas, great winter and exceptional new year. (Especially you Roy! ... say hi to wife and daughter for me)

Glad to hear you out enjoying the fall and that the hunt went well for your group. Your right there's nothing better then a few days away from it all at camp.
